Bug Description
512 GB SSD already has Windows 8 installed. I shrank the Windows C: partition to 150 GB which left around 350 GB free space.
I had already made a bootable USB drive for Kubuntu with unetbootin. After booting from USB and attempting to use the "Install to hard disk" and selecting manual partitioning, I tried first to create an 8 GB swap partition and then a crypto partition. The installer refused a swap partition outside the crypto partition.
Next I tried to create the crypto partition by itself. When I selected the option I expected the dialog box to extend with passphrase entry fields but it did not. I cannot select "format the partition" nor a mount point, and the installation cannot proceed. Eventually a python error is reported.
